retaliate. a triple shooting that killed one man and wounded two women. it happened just before 11:00 last night on yorkshire drive not far from deer valley road in antioch. two of the victims are a mother and adult daughter and that the two had a restraining order against the alleged gunman. that gunman was pronounced dead at the scene. police say he had a gunshot wound to the head. neighbors in the area say the violence is shocking. >> we said what is this? to hear about somebody being shot, it -- it's devastating. >> the two women were taken to john meir medical center where they are in stable condition this morning. investigators in the south bay are looking to identify a body found burning near busy south bay on-ramp. the victim was found at a roadside encampment along the cottle road on-ramp to northbound 85 not far from

kaiser hospital. that is where "today in the bay's" bob redell joins us live with more on this gruesome discovery. good morning, bob. >> reporter: good morning, laura. chp and fire not only trying to figure out who that perch was but what started this fire in the stand of trees. several drivers called 911 a little after 9:00 last night to report that the brush and trees were on fire. as the fire department was putting it out they made the discovery of this badly burned body. it appears he or she -- again, they couldn't determine the sex, but it appears that this person was homeless, based on a mattress and tent found nearby. the fire department doesn't believe there was foul play involved but they're not yet 100% certain. >> at this particular time, that's unknown. we're trying to determine whether it's accidental or purposeful. at this particular point in time nothing says it's anything other than an accidental fire. >> reporter: this on-ramp was

shut down for a period of time last night. it's now reopened. this should have no impact on your morning commute. reporting live in south san jose, bob redell, "today in the bay." expecting new details on exactly what caused dozens of bolts to break on the eastern span of the bay bridge. "today in the bay's" christie smith joining us live on treasure island with a look at this inspection. good morning. >> good morning, john. this is not what anyone expected to hear about a bridge being built specifically for seismic safety, that a number of bolts had snapped just days after being installed. caltr caltrans is expected to talk more about what went wrong but also talk about a number of possible solutions at a recent meeting with the metropolitan transportation commission in oakland. engineers discussed fabricating a sleeve for the bridge. the bolts we're talking about are about nine to 24-feet long and caltrans believes there was hydrogen in the process of making them and that turned the steel brittle.

because of their size and location, simply replacing them, though, won't come easy. they're not easy to get out. again, it relates to the access issue. they actually have to be extracted as far as you can pull them out. then you have to cut a piece off. >> reporter: the chronicle is reporting that a second batch of 192 bolts on the new eastern span of the bay bridge has been tightened into place and so far they are holding. no signs of cracks or stress. reporting live on treasure island, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> christie, thank you very much. beautiful shot behind the bridge. >> did you see the sunrise out there this morning, looking for a beautiful bay area morning. hope you get a chance to enjoy it. take a look at that. pretty warm temperatures. right, christina? >> oh, yeah, laura and jon. with all this sunshine coming in so early, it's an indication of a warm day ahead. temperatures this morning are already at seasonal averages in places like oakland, starting the day at 6:06 this morning,

typically coldest point of the day, right around sunrise here at 63 degrees. 57 in sunnyvale, 48 degrees to start in gilroy. let's talk about what we're expecting for today. it will be the warmest day of the year so far, 5 to 10 degree spikes from yesterday's highs and fog and drizzle on the way tomorrow leads to significant cooling. so you're only going to get one day of temps in the upper 80s, low 90s. into the weekend temperatures will level off and we'll see the 70s. it will be perfection. one of the spring weekends. make those outdoor plans if you're staying here around the bay area. because this is the only day, as we said, 86 degrees inland. 80 at the bay and 74 at the coast. we'll take you live to tahoe. that's coming up next. check your drive. good morning, mike. >> good morning. we're going to start off with this view of mission boulevard at 880. that transition is okay. you see the traffic volume picking up. that's my concern. let me take you to the map.

cruz. we do have a stalled vehicle. folks are swerving around it, it's sticking out in the slow lane. stay over to the center divide and go slowly in the area. other folks are hitting the brakes causing that ripple effect through the area. the other issue is overnight we had a deadly crash, bear creek road at highway 35, down the embankment, off the roadway. crews are there. the investigation has cleared. they have to remove that car in the morning hours after the sunrise. so that may be an issue for locals. meanwhile, highway 17 continues to build southbound for slowing over the summit. live lock outside. we'll show you how things are. backup quickly forms after 6:00. typical pattern here approaching on a wednesday, guys. back to you. >> beautiful sunrise once again. >> oh, yes. feels good just to see it. wedding bouquet backlash. sounds like an exciting episode on a reality show. how flack over a facebook post is getting a washington florist sued by the state. governor brown signs a trade

policy. the openly gay scout for moraga, denied the rank of eagle scout even though he completed all his requirements. it is safe to say he and his family are going to support this new bill. as for how it's going to play out in sacramento, one legal analyst aren't sure that moderates will jump on board tax increases that target organizations base on ideology alone. however, some affiliates are already being treated a little differently because of it. i'll explain how in my next report. jon? >> looking forward to it. in washington state a florist facing flack. now a lawsuit this morning after refusing to provide wedding flowers to a gay couple for their wedding. attorney general in washington suing the owner of arlene's flower flowers, saying she violated the state's anti-discrimination

welcome back, everyone. 6:44. we are expecting new details on what caltrans plans to do about those broken bolts on the new span of the bay bridge. dozens of the steel rods snapped after being tightened last month. "today in the bay's" christie smith joins us with what is expected to happen at a status

meeting later this morning. christ christie? >> in a couple of hours, caltrans is expected to talk about a number of options they're looking at to try to fix this problem. this came as a huge surprise that about a third of the 96 bolts installed on the seismic safety structure of the eastern span of the bay bridge snapped after being tightened. recently, engineers talked about creating a collar to help hold it in place. that was one of the options they discussed at a meeting in oakland. engineers have said there really is no excuse for the steel rods to break, that it was preventable. caltrans believes the bolts had hytrogen in them, which made the steel brittle. second batch of bolts has been tightened and holding up so far, made by the same ohio company that made the original bolts. the new ones were apparently made two years later. they still want details on what exactly happened here, how to fix it. caltrans is expected to be talking about that at 9:30 this

morning. we will be there. reporting live on treasure island, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> thank you so much, christie. 6:45 now. christina loren is back, spreading the good vibrations spread by mother nature there. >> she has been taking us on a wild ride. today, we are going down. the good times keep on rolling in the weather department. we're on the good side of that roller coaster. temperatures will be comfortable enough to hit the beach for the very first time. a little weather bug there. and we head throughout the day, warmest day of the year so far. starting with the live picture. this, of course, beautiful san jose. not a cloud to start the day. sunrise just took place at 6:31. no fog here. lot of sunshine headed our way in the city today. as a result, we'll head up into the 80s today. winds have relaxed substantially. pollen levels, another indication today and tomorrow. keep that allergy medicine handy
